Lunchtime arrangements

We are a NUT FREE school - all snacks and packed lunches MUST be nut-free.

Universal Infant Free School Meals

Universal Infant Free School Meals are offered to all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. This Government led initiative has been developed with the purpose of aiding child development, supporting academic performance and improving levels of healthy eating. These meals will not be compulsory and if you prefer your child can still bring in a packed lunch. The provision for older children in Years 3 to 6 will not be affected. All Reception and Key Stage 1 children are automatically enrolled on to the online ordering system with this free entitlement.

Free Milk

Free milk is available in school for all children aged under five, funded by the UK government. Once your child turns five, you will be offered the opportunity to pay a subsidised rate for your child to continue to receive milk or it will be funded by the school if you are in receipt of certain benefits.
Click here to contact Cool Milk direct if you wish your child to receive milk in school. Free milk is only delivered for those who have registered to receive it.
